Come check them out reasonably good large rooms great customer service prices are great love the location lots of restaurants near by
It's a decent stay for the price. It's clean and up to date with furnishings, however it is on a busy street so noise is there but overall decent
Had a excellent stay here with my family for special day rooms was very nice and clean plenty on space so you won't feel crammed in a room will definitely book again
This was a amazing day over at the hotel the service was nice and speedy overall I recommend going here to spend a night it's not too expensive and worth your time
Hotel is close to everything, reasonably priced, rooms are clean and in good shape and the staff is very pleasant. I enjoyed my stay very much
First impression, this place looked ghetto, but can't judge a book by it's cover. It's actually chill and owner's are welcoming. Rooms are nice with Cali King size beds that are pillow top. Parking lot is in the front, so no scary back alley. Thanks for having us.
For price and location, can’t beat Harbor Inn. The staff is very accommodating. Relatively quiet at night. Family friendly. Would stay again.
The rooms are very clean. The rooms are a little out dated but they are working on updating. Very family-friendly. The staff is great the couple that runs it are very nice people and the man watches the cameras like it's cool to make sure no one is there that should not be. Very quiet and pleasant.
Only three small cockroaches, least I've seen at a budget motel so far. Everything was fairly clean, the bars of soap where hard to open without teeth, so be aware. 3 bed room was a really cool thing I have not seen before. Really nice to have some privacy after a long drive. Receptionist was nice and straight to the point. Bathroom... meh. No real table for stuff, bathtub has a killer lip. I hit an old surgery incision with screws and saw some new colors, so be careful . Overall best place I've been to in LA for under 100$ a night.
I love the motel. The staff is so wonderful and very attentive to needs of customers. They are very family friendly and made us feel immediately welcome. Very helpful in finding things around (shopping, eating etc) the location is quite convienent as well. Would/Will definitely stay here again next time we are in the area.
Multi-ethnic area with Ken Malloy Harbor Regional Park’s Machado Lake, golf course & playground.
